  <h1>Opening Views</h1>
  <p>Perspectives offer pre-defined combinations of views and editors. To open a view that is not included in the
  current perspective, select <b>Window &gt; Show View</b> from the main menu bar.</p>
  <p>After adding a view to the current perspective, you may wish to save your new layout by clicking <a class=
  "command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.savePerspective")'><img src=
  "PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> <b>Window &gt; Perspective &gt; Save Perspective
  As...</b></a>.</p>
